Central Florida East Coast Fishing Guide for Tarpon, Redfish, King Mackerel, and more!

Fabulous

saltwater fishing on the East Coast of Central Florida near Orlando! Captain Keith Kalbfleisch provides top-quality charters for saltwater gamefish on the flats inshore and along the nearshore beaches of the Atlantic Coast. With over 30 years of experience, you will be provided with a terrific charter, whether you prefer conventional, spinning, or fly fishing tackle.

Captain Keith will put you on battlers that will make your reel scream and provide you a memorable trip. He is an expert at saltwater gamefish, not a freshwater guide doing second duty. Captain Keith is one of the featured Certified Captains for the International Game Fish Association (IGFA)--a top fishing honor. He is also a member of a number of professional and recreational fishing organizations, and has the distinction of being Bass Pro Shop's Inshore Saltwater PRO Staff Captain. Often featured in Magazines, radio, and television, his expertise is well-known throughout the area.

Year-round we fish the fabled Indian River system including the famous Mosquito Lagoon you may have seen on TV for bulldogging Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Tarpon, and Snook. This is light-tackle and fly-fishing at its finest, with large fish caught in the shallows of quiet backwaters. And all of this saltwater fishing is barely an hour from Orlando!

Only top-quality equipment and the best of boats are used so that you have the best chance possible of catching that trophy. Captain Keith is competent, entertaining, extremely knowledgeable on how to fish in the Orlando area, and is fully licensed by the US Coast Guard and the State of Florida. You will need nothing but a hat, sunglasses, and your snacks and drinks. All licenses, gear, lures, and premium bait are provided. Just hop on board and go fishing!

Within a few miles of the beach, we catch King Mackerel, jumping Tarpon, monster Jack Crevalle, strong Cobia, unusual Tripletail, and streamlined Sharks. This fishing is very seasonal, mostly late Spring through early Fall, and is done within a few miles of the beach in the open ocean-it can be very exciting!

Captain Keith has been fishing in Florida for over 30 years, with the past 15 years concentrating on the Central Florida East Coast near Orlando. He has fishing experience around the world from Blue Marlin in deep water to Redfish on the flats. He captains two boats named The MTC, an Action Craft Flats skiff (see more about The MTC under Boats), and a 22� Mako. Well known in the area, he has won a number of awards and is often asked to speak to fishing groups. He is expert at finding fish inshore on the flats and along the Atlantic shorelines, specializing in ultralight tackle experiences on spinning and fly tackle.

Captain Keith is an IGFA Certified Captain--an indication of his excellent qualifications. He is also On the Mako State Team, an Action Craft featured guide, and he can work with the novice to the most experienced angler.

The MTC (pronounced "Empty Sea"), is actually two boats. First is the 1622 Flyfisher by Action Craft--the "Top-of-the-Line" in flats skiffs. It is specially designed to sneak along shallow shorelines hunting fish, while being able to handle the nearshore waters near Orlando chasing beach-bound gamesters. Its "Qui-Dri" hull is stable, quiet, and dry. As his pride-and-joy, Capt. Keith keeps The MTC spotlessly clean, and in perfect working order.

The MTC is fully outfitted with all Coast Guard safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and life jackets, and has a foam-filled hull that is unsinkable. It is extremely stable--you can walk around the edge (gunnels) of the boat and it won't tip! This makes it the ideal fishing craft for people who have any problems with seasickness. The MTC can fish up to two people, allowing room to cast and fight fish. Here are some more particulars: Livewell, Poling Platform, Double-redundant electrical systems, Mercury 90hp primary motor, Minn-Kota Riptide electric motor, GPS, Fishfinder, VHF radio, Cell phone, and dry storage for your belongings.

The MTC nearshore is a beautiful 2210 Mako that is premier for handling our open water, or going shallow with larger companies. Again it is fully equipped with all fish-catching, and comfort options.
